Driving 200 miles of California highway in the powerful new Audi S8 was pure pleasure, our reviewer writes.
customer. Instead, like Peter Pan, I’ve tenaciously clung to my small-car fantasy, whether it’s a Porsche 911 or a Morgan Plus 8. In that context, the Audi S8 was a revelation, and yes, I should have known better. It’s just that now, I’m actually converted.Driving 285 miles nonstop makes one thankful to have the S8, the biggest and sportiest Audi, as one’s road-going companion.
Infotainment, connectivity and driver-assistance systems in the S8 are comprehensive and comprehensible. The car’s character goes from sporty Dynamic mode to cushy Comfort mode with the simple swipe of a finger on the center-stack 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Dynamic setting exploits Audi’s Predictive Active Suspension, a $6,000 option that employs a camera to scan the road, modulating each corner to iron out road irregularities in concert with the standard sport air suspension.
We’ve always called out Audi for having the most tasteful interiors in the business. In the case of the S8, it’s a combination of Valcona leather, carbon fiber and discrete aluminum trim. Infotainment, connectivity and driver-assistance systems are comprehensive and—importantly—comprehensible. Understatement carries to the exterior of the S8, too, with lines that are sharper and, dare we say, sportier than the outgoing model. The Singleframe front grille is wider, with digital matrix-design LED headlamps. At the rear, OLED taillights and four stout tailpipes distinguish the S8 from the A8. Yet this car, starting at $116,900, will never attract undue attention.
